Isn't it interesting that the chattering classes, so busy trying to cancel J K Rowling for apparently being a dreadful human being, without a single shred of evidence, were quite happy to buy up to 150, 000 tickets costing from £140 to £280 per day to watch Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, a man who is a self declared racist, misogynist, antisemitic Nazi apologist and Holocaust denier.
One could almost imagine that a man can say and do anything he likes, including stating that he beats women, and still be worshipped whilst a talented writer and humanitarian, who happens to be a woman, is vilified.

The hatred of JK Rowling has been weirdly disproportionate. It's almost certainly driven by misogyny.

If I'm honest I dont always agree with her but even i can see the hate for her is disproportionate. Being even more honest I wasn't at fan long before the trans stuff.

Noones standing up for the 'batty old woman'

Whereas if you insult kanye, men will rush to sympathise with and understand him, and take up against you
